    Summary quotation from Wikipedia:

    “Body and Soul” was recorded as a duet by Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse on the 23rd of March 2011. It was the final recording made by Winehouse before her death on July 23, 2011 at the age of 27. The single was released worldwide on September 14, 2011, what would have been her 28th birthday, on iTunes, MTV and VH1.

    When the song reached #87 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of October 1, 2011, it made Bennett the oldest living artist ever to chart on the Hot 100, surpassing the previous record of George Burns. It also gave Bennett the longest overall span of appearances on the Hot 100; his version of “Young and Warm and Wonderful” appeared on the very first Hot 100 chart dated August 4, 1958.

    To commemorate what would have been her 28th birthday, her father, Mitch Winehouse launched the Amy Winehouse Foundation. The foundation’s goal is to raise awareness and support for organizations that help vulnerable, young adults with problems such as addiction. Proceeds from “Body and Soul” will go to benefit The Amy Winehouse Foundation. The song received a Grammy Award at the 54th Grammy Awards in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category on 12 February 2012.
